nuchan.

Brit.

/ˈnjuːkə/, U.S.

/ˈn(j)ukə/

Forms: Middle English mucha (transmission error), Middle English nucham, Middle English nuka, Middle English–1500s nuca, Middle English– nucha.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin nucha.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin nucha spinal cord (11th cent. in Constantine Africanus; from c1200 in British sources), nape of the neck (from late 12th cent. in British sources) < Arabic nuḵāʿ spinal marrow, confused with nuqra nape of the neck. Compare Old French nuche nuche n., Middle French, French nuque nuque n., Italian nuca spinal cord, nape of the neck (early 14th cent.), Spanish nuca spinal cord (1495), nape of the neck (from 1711), Portuguese nuca (1701). Compare nuche n., nuke n.¹, and nuque n. Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch s.v. nuḫāʿ suggests that the semantic shift from the sense ‘spinal cord’ to ‘nape of the neck’, seen in the Romance languages and English, may well have been influenced by the work of the 16th-cent. anatomist A. Vesalius. He avoided the Arabic terms in his work and used medulla instead of nucha, so that nucha in the sense ‘spinal cord’ lost its place in the official terminology. In form nucham in Middle English after post-classical Latin accusative forms.

Anatomy. Now rare.

†1. The spinal cord. Obsolete.
